[EVENT COMPLETED] European Meet-up will be live here

[Edit] European meet-up is ended yesterday, September 23, at 23:59 CET. Here below the step by step story.Caption: Local Guides at European Meet-up 2018Caption: Local Guides at European Meet-up 2018

 

 A full recap will follow [end edit]

 

Here below is the original post

Only a few hours to start the European Meet Up 2018

So I am taking the opportunity for inviting every Local Guide to stay with us in Krakow, following this post

In this post we will share the most interesting and beautiful moment, in real time during the Meet-up.

[Edit] after the first day of the meet-up, I am adding a picture, that is to me the deep meaning of the event by

The inscription has been photographed on the entrance of the first block on the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum, on Auschwitz Extermination Camp

This is what we have found, entering on one of the barracks I need Auschwitz concentration camp [end edit]

We will be together in less than 20 hours from now, coming from different places of Europe. While I am writing, someone is already arrived in Krakow, some other will drive, or fly, in a few hours.

 

In this post you will have also the opportunity to know a bit more about the Local Guides that will attend the meet-up.

I will start from myself, of course.

 

My name is Ermes, I am a L8 Local Guide from Treviso (Italy), a beautiful medieval town very close to the more famous Venice

I have joined the Local Guides Program on July 2016, and on April 2017 I have been invited to be a Connect Moderator (That's the reason why you can see a multicolor circle on my avatar)

What I do as a Local Guide: as a Local Guide I like to cover the complete set of information in Google Maps (addding photos, editing places to correct/update the information, doing fact checking for verifying the data, but what I most love is to discover a new places to add in Google Maps. I also have a special interest about Mapping in emergency areas, for helping the part of central Italy injuried by the earthquake of August / September 2016.

 

Why I want to attend to the European Meet-up: I have several reason for going to Krakow. This is not my first time in there, I worked in Krakow for some month in the past, and I love the city. I am very happy to have the opportunity for a new visit in the salt mine of Wieliczka, and to visit Oświęcim (Auschwitz) again

I also want to go in there to meet some old friend, like @TorM@NatalkaR@davide7O, some friend in Connect, like @helga19@JanVanHaver (my living tutorial) and @LudwigGermany, plus some new friend

 

How do I move to Krakow? I will go by car, together with @AntonellaGr, as unfortunately there isn't a good connection for the return flight. So we will cross, in a few hours, four countries (Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland)

 

What will I bring with me? I will bring my Camera, my Theta, my LG backpak, and a lot of LG gadget (my LG glasses and more) plus something that we will discover tomorrow ?

Woooo hoooo @ErmesT! Can’t wait to see @TorM  @AntonellaGr and the rest of Europe show up and follow TorM’s hosted 1st ever European Meetup unfollow over the long weekend! 

 

I bet @NunungAfuah @MahabubMunna @IlankovanT are just as excited to see what you all do in Krakow as they have done in SE Asia.
